Many Republican leaders from Ohio are praising President Trump following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro over the weekend.

Maduro and his wife have been brought to the United States to face charges related to drug trafficking and narco-terrorism, according to the Trump administration.

GOP Senator Bernie Moreno applauded the president, saying he "eliminated an obvious clear and present danger to our nation" with Maduro's arrest, while Senator Jon Husted described Venezuela as a "criminal enterprise" under the leader.

Former Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown is critical of Trump's operation, accusing the president of "prioritizing foreign countries" while many Ohioans are struggling to make ends meet.
